    What are Argos scheme work vouchers?


    Via Perks at Work I get 5x wowpoints. Wow points are like cashback. Example, I buy £500 Argos gift card (ecode can use straight away), I get £25 cashback

    So, is it the general consensus that the digital version is the one to own?


    If your really want to go fully digital then yeah sure.

    But price shouldn't be the reason to go for the digital version, as in the long term you will be paying more for games and you can't sell them. The initial saving is lost over long term. (edited)

    Cheap PS Plus and 1 month NOW sub if you can find them = 12 months of Premium.

    Awesome, if this is your first PS5 enjoy it as it's so much of a step up from a PS4 Pro.

    Consider finding a 1 month NOW subscription because if you have a 12 month Plus sub that will get automatically upgraded to the new Premium tier starting soon, but you may already know this.

    Also plug an old external HDD in the back for PS4 games and PS5 game storage as you will need it and think about getting a 1TB NVMe.

    Enjoy.

    Now even Sony have got in on the scalping Games used to be bundled with consoles pretty much free, now they are making you pay an Extra £50 (edited)

    That's expensive for digital game £50 what a rip off

    Scroll up. Look at the description.


    Too much to read (edited)

    Slightly naughty title from Argos in my opinion. It could almost be interpreted as having an extra controller.
    They mention controller in the title. All ps5’s come with a controller though. It doesn’t need to be started unless it’s a free second controller.
    As per usual, no stock showing anywhere close to me.

    Am I missing something - RRP of console is £450 and you are getting a digital version of Horizon for £50? Doesn’t seem much of a deal? In March Argos were doing PS5 + physical copy (which you can resell) for £480. Supply issues are now starting to be resolved so prices should be coming down now.

    I found Horizon Zero Dawn way overrated. Suspect the gorgeous graphics fried a lot of reviewer brains back in 2017 and made them overlook its flaws.

    Is forbidden West pretty much the same?

    I couldn’t have timed my trade in any better, had one since launch and never play it.

    Not the consoles fault, I’m just not as young and responsibility free anymore

    If you have a pile of PS4 games (like me) then disc is better, because it can play a lot of the PS4 games with better frame rate.

    It's better, but it's also largely more of the same. The side quests and additional content are much improved.

    If you didn't like the first, you won't likely be swayed by FW, but if you enjoyed the first, there's a lot to love here.

    Good luck getting one guys if you have never owned one, it's a great step up from a PS4 Pro.

    I recommend putting Black Plates on it as it looks super nice and drop a Seagate Firecuda 1TB in there or similar as well as an old external HDD in the back if you have one lying around, which can be used for playing PS4 games or cold storage of PS5 games, because with the New PS Plus Extra/Premium tiers launching in June you will NEED that space.

    1 percent topcashback too.

    plus 3.4 percent cashback on topcashback argos giftcards. basically £17 back if you buy a £499 argos giftcard and then make payment with that.

    although there is the risk youre stuck with an argos giftcard if it goes out of stock before completing the purchase or they cancel the order!

    I've been on a journey, physical and spiritual, since the PS5's release, visited every major retailer in the UK in hopes of finding one, but all I found was a Bigfoot called Dave who wore trousers and lived in a forest. Now my journey is complete, and I found my console (edited)

    everything about it is an improvement, noise, load times, interface. I managed to trade my pro in and ended up only paying £200
